A red sun is sinking in the west, the desert wind is whining, and on the vast Gobi Desert, the warmth on the surface of the sand and gravel is rapidly decreasing, and the temperature is also dropping sharply. As the twilight fades, the rolling wind-eroded mounds cast all sorts of strange black shadows on the surface, adding to the infinite desolation and loneliness.

Xie Sangun rode on horseback, put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, it was still a boundless desert, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of irritation in his heart, this Gobi Desert where birds don't poop is so fucking big!

Today is the third day of the fourth month, since the first day of the fourth month of the fourth month from Sunit Otok into the Gobi, Xie Sangun has led 5,000 light horsemen to trek in the desert for two days and two nights, and still has not arrived at the oasis of Saiyin Shanda, where I am hiding.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Xie Sangun ordered to stop the march and set up camp to bury the pot for cooking.

It is said that because he has no experience in the Gobi march, Xie Sangun did not order the collection of firewood and grass before entering the Gobi, and it was so cold at night, and in addition to stones and sand in the vast Gobi, it was impossible to make a fire to keep warm, so the Ming army had to huddle together to keep warm, and the five thousand horsemen led by Isana were all Tatars, and their ability to resist cold was naturally stronger than that of the Ming army, plus they were used to wearing thick fur sweaters and pants, so they were very comfortable, for this reason, Isana also took the opportunity to make fun of Xie Sangun, and finally threw him a leather robe.

During the day today, Xie Sangun ordered to collect all the things that could be collected along the way to ignite the fire, and some grass and trees would occasionally grow on the Gobi.

Just as the Ming army was busy camping and digging stoves, Isana came, this eighteen-year-old Tatar girl wore the usual Tatar robes, a thin waist tightly tied, and cowhide boots, although her appearance was ordinary, her body was curvy, and her body was full of youthful beauty.

"Mr. Xie, what are they doing here?" Yisana walked quickly to Xie Sangun, pointed to the Ming army who was digging the stove and burying the pot, and said in a questioning tone.

Xie Sangun rolled his eyes and said, "Bury the pot to cook, what else can you do!" ”

"No, it's already very close to Sainshanda, and you're going to expose us all if you make fireworks." Isana said solemnly, and after speaking, she shook her head and muttered: "Will you lead troops to fight in the end, I'm afraid that the victories in the previous battles will be covered." ”

Xie Sangun couldn't help but have black lines on his head when he heard this, and said angrily: "You girl knows a fart, get out of the way, just take care of your own soldiers." ”

Isana pouted and said, "You kid only knows how to ...... What's that, how old is the county lord, why are you old-fashioned in front of the county lord, the county lord said that you can't make a fire to cook, you can't make a fire to cook, you all stop, you can't cook, do you hear! ”

Xie Sangun couldn't help but be happy, and pointed at the Tatar cavalry camp in the distance and said: "It's your business, don't make noise in Lao Tzu's territory, go back there where you come from." ”

Isana was also angry, blushing and said loudly: "Xie Sangun, you have forgotten your commander's order, this operation must be based on the county lord, you are only assisting, the county lord now orders you, stop lighting the fire and cooking immediately, don't affect the county lord's five thousand men and horses." ”

Xie Sangun sneered: "Don't use chicken feathers as arrows, if the master doesn't eat this set, get out immediately, otherwise the master will be unkind to you." ”

"Xie Sangun, you dare!" Isana's eyes widened with anger, and as soon as she straightened her chest, she pressed on Xie Sangun, who was naturally not to be outdone, took a step forward with her chest straight, and raised her right hand with a fist.

The surrounding Ming troops all stopped what they were doing, looked at it with a smile, and looked like a crowd eating melons, and some even instigated with obscenity: "Boss Xie, don't be cowardly, her, ruthless!" ”

Immediately there was a loud laugh, and Isana suddenly slapped Xie Sangun's chest, pushing him back a step, and then ran out of the Ming army's camp with red eyes.

Xie Sangun scratched the back of his head, feeling weird, he glared at the coaxing soldiers, and scolded: "Damn, if you shouted just now, roll over to the little master and make a thousand palm presses, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish it." ”

"I'm pissed off, bastard, idiot, thank you three shots, you kid will walk for me!" Isana ran back to her camp, and in a fit of rage, pulled out her waist knife and slashed at the stone several times.

"Your Royal Highness, Lord Isana, what's going on?" Chilu came over and asked.

Isana put the knife back into the sheath, and said angrily: "Xie Sangun, a self-righteous fool, actually let the soldiers make a fire to cook at this time, and the county lord kindly reminded him that if he didn't listen, forget it, and even insulted the county lord, it's angry!" Hateful! ”

A trace of worry flashed in Chilu Buhua's eyes, and he said with a complicated expression: "This place should be less than a hundred miles away from Saiyin Shanda, maybe there are spies from my answer, and lighting a fire and cooking will expose the whereabouts of our army, so my subordinates will go to persuade Xie Zongbing." ”

"Don't persuade him, it's better for me to find out and send troops to kill that idiot by night." Isana said angrily.

Chilu Buhua smiled bitterly and said: "We are now in the same boat, we are closely related, if the Ming army is attacked, we can't escape, our subordinates should go and persuade it." ”

After Chilu finished speaking, he went to the camp of the Ming army, and Isana did not stop him.

Yisana watched Chilu Buhua enter the camp of the Ming army, and planned to return to her camp tent to rest, but she was not at ease, stretched her neck and waited left and right, and after about half an hour, she didn't see Chilu Buhua come back, and the camp of the Ming army did not have smoke rising, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart: "Could it be that this kid Xie Sangun listened to Chilu Buhua's persuasion?" How can this be reasonable, why doesn't he listen to the words of the county lord, and he listens to the words of Chilu if he doesn't spend it! ”

Isana was unhappy in her heart, so she saw Chilu Buhua coming out of the camp of the Ming army, and slowly walked back to this side, and by this time it was already completely dark.

Seeing that Isana was still waiting in place, Chilu Buhua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly quickened his pace to meet him and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the County Lord!" ”

"Chilu doesn't spend, Xie Sanshu listened to your advice?" Isana asked with a cold face.

Chilu Buhua shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "He doesn't even listen to the words of the county lord, how can he listen to his subordinates!" ”

Isana's eyes widened and she wondered, "Then why is there no smoke and fire in the camp of the Ming army?" ”

Chilu Buhua said with a strange expression: "The Ming army uses a smokeless marching stove, according to Chief Xie, this kind of stove will not expose the whereabouts of the army. ”

Isana said in surprise: "Smokeless marching stove? Really fake! ”

Chilu Buhua nodded and said: "At first, my subordinates didn't believe it, but now I have to believe it, the Ming army is cooking dinner now." ”

"There is such a stove? No, the lord of this county will have to go over and take a look. After Isana finished speaking, she was going to the camp of the Ming army to see what was going on.

"Your Royal Highness the County Lord, slow down!" Chilu Buhua hurriedly said.

Isana stopped and frowned, "What else is going on?" ”

Chilu Buhua hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Is His Royal Highness the County Lord ...... Interesting to Mr. Xie? ”

Isana's face turned red, but the Prairie Woman was bold and straightforward, and she nodded eventually.

Chilu Buhua's face was slightly gloomy and said: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, don't forget, the reason why the people of the Ming Kingdom help us restore the country is also ill-intentioned, Xu Jin and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom one sings red face, the other sings black face, and the detention of the door map in the capital of the Ming Kingdom is the best proof." ”

Isana's face changed, and she was silent for a moment before she said, "The lord of this county understands that the wolf is here to eat meat, and he will definitely not leave until he is full." ”

"It's good that His Royal Highness the County Lord understands!" Chilu Buhua breathed a sigh of relief.

"The lord of this county will return the loop to the Ming State at most, if the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is insatiable, the lord of the county will never agree, the public is public, the private is private, and the lord of the county will be measured." Isana said in a deep voice.

Chilu Buhua sighed, as the so-called people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, if the emperor of the Ming Kingdom just asks for the Hetao Plain, it doesn't matter if he agrees, but that Xu Jin, the prince of Yasukuni, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, just a Hetao, I'm afraid it can't satisfy his appetite, and now, I can only see the moves, see the walking, first borrow the Ming army to eliminate the answer and then make plans.

"Your Royal Highness, where are you going?" Chiru Buhua was sighing, but when he saw Isana walking out of the camp, he hurriedly followed and asked.

In the darkness, Isana's face turned red again, and said, "This county lord went over to see what the smokeless marching stove of the Ming army looked like, and we can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in the future." ”

Chilu shook his head darkly, and without saying a word, he followed Isana into the camp of the Ming army.

When Isana entered the camp of the Ming army, she found that the Huotou army was indeed cooking on the fire, so she approached to observe. The leaders of the gang naturally knew Isana, but they did not hide it, but generously introduced her to the structure of the smokeless marching stove.

The so-called smokeless marching stove is not complicated to do, that is, the stove is dug underground, the size and depth should be moderate, so that the open flame can be hidden, and the other point is the excavation of the smoke exhaust channel, which should be as long as possible, and covered with grass and soil and so on, so that the smoke can be slowly dispersed, so that it will not rise straight up like cooking smoke, and it will naturally be invisible if it is far away, and it will not expose its whereabouts.

Therefore, the stoveless marching stove is not really smokeless, but it just makes the smoke disperse and does not rise, and it cannot be found at close range.

After understanding the principle of the smokeless stove, Isana couldn't help but suddenly say: "I see, your Ming army really has a lot of ghost ideas. ”

A firehead soldier next to him said proudly: "This is not a ghost idea, it is a brilliant idea, and ordinary people can't think of it when they break their heads." ”

"Cut, it's not necessarily clever, could it be that you Xie Zongbing came up with it?" Isana pouted.

The leader of the gang said with a smile: "It's really taught to you by our chief soldier, but it is unknown whether it was invented by the chief soldier." ”

Isana stopped talking, snorted coldly and turned around and left the Ming army's camp.
